602 Poivre Cèdre Patchouli Bon Parfumeur 2016

Sampling Bon Parfumeur 602 Pepper Cedar Patchouli, a fittingly spicy and woody blend with dominant pepper and cedar especially with a more measured use of patchouli, along with some added accords of chili, vetiver, neroli, and incense. It’s a little heady but overall feels pretty well-rounded and workable for most of the seasons, except perhaps the dead heat of summer, but given its liberal use of black/chili pepper, it’s in my wheelhouse, as I love the rich, savory aspect that pepper gives fragrances like this. The fragrance definitely takes on more of a resinous quality as it dries down, and I like that its complexity is revealed more over time this way as well. A very nice entry.

602 is EDP concentration, sold by boutiques like Ministry of Scent and with retailing pricing equaling the other perfumes that I’ve tried in the line: $107/53/34 for 100/30/15ml.
